Alex L.

Most people left DCPA last year with the same question: What can AI actually do for my company?

You could hear it in the sessions. You could feel it in the hallway conversations.
And after working with hundreds of finance leaders over the last few months, the pattern is clear:

AI hasn’t fallen short on hype but fallen short on outcomes.

So next week, January 28, I’m hosting a live workshop on how accounting teams are using AI to produce review ready first drafts of month end workpapers with a clearer audit trail.

A few highlights:
• What “continuous close” actually looks like
• How AI drafts workpapers and flags gaps
• Where human judgment still matters
